PS: I'm reading Aristotle's Poetics, and there are lots of commentaries of many authors in the footnotes, in french, latin, Italian, English and German. It's very exciting when someone notices its developpment. I could read almost all of the commentaries, except those in German and some in latin, because I don't have a good latin dictionary.

Watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqKbVSLf4R8. ~3 minutes. I understood about 50% of the words, but understood the ideas. I should practice more this; so, I'll start, from now on, to watch more videos on youtube.

Damn, I left this page opened and went to the university, and when I came back my sister had closed it. Let me write what I remember:
Latin:
No. I had a really bad day, couldn't concentrate too much on studies - as I couldn't even study law well.
French:
I made an effort here, as I need to improve it urgently for the exchange reasons - the tests are in April 1st, oral and written parts.
FSI: Tape 10.6. ~32 minutes
Reading LeMonde.fr. ~17 minutes
Watching videos. ~8 minutes (I remember that here I had understood ~50-70% of the spoken words, but understood the ideas. I have to improve it a little more.)
Total time in french: 57 minutes
Italian:
Finally, my first of the six books I intend to read this year. I started today to read Matilde Serao's "L'infedele". It's an easy book - I read the 1st chapter and understood more than 95% of the words. It was 8 pages, and I took 50-55 minutes to read them. It's a little slow, but I'll improve it by practicing.

I read the 2nd chapter of the book today. It was 7 pages, and I took 45 minutes to do it. The first 2 pages were a little difficult, with many new words - there was a description there (understanding about 75% of the words). The others were very fast and easy to read (more than 98%).
